[quote]You cannot build more housing without fixing the infrastructure and adopting it to handle more population. It's already at its very max, highways are in need or repair and much expansion, too many cars/trucks. Subways are overcrowded and cannot handle all the population needing to use them, even bike lanes and sidewalks are crowded. The electric grid is stressed, and the water/steam system and sewage needs constant maintenance.  [/quote]

Here in DC the metro is NOT at its max, it has not recovered its ridership from ten years ago.  And we can build more bus only lanes to supplement, and if we had more population we could justify building more rail lines.

Not only are bike lanes (other than 15th street) not crowded, but anti bike people complain they are under used.  Most sidewalks could handle more people too.

Sewage systems have huge costs to fix out dated combined sewer outflows. More housing means more people share that cost.

In general dense cities can provide infrastructure much more cheaply than sprawling suburbs.

And we need to rely less on autos. [/quote]
